Some major work has been done on the python plugins in Domoticz recently. Not sure how stable it is at the moment. My Domotics at home is not running as it should be (problem with my hardware), so I can only test a little.

After a short investigation I also noticed that the plugins are disabled at the moment in the master branch and in the downloadable beta release. It is mentioned in many other posts in this forum as well. So it is up to the devs of domoticz to fix the issue and enable Python plugins again. When I ...

Update Domoticz Bèta 3.7602 - Buienradar (Weather Lookup) Type in Hardware types is missing and no actual information is delivered anymore by the Plugin. Somebody else with the same experience? I submitted an issue in Github - it has to do with changes in the Python system used for the newest ...

this only works for positions in the Netherlands? Or also for Belgium?
Thanks

The plugin uses http://xml/buienradar.nl and buienradar.be doesn't have such an xml feed, unfortunately.
If you are close to the Dutch border, maybe the plugin will be useful for you.

That opens up possibilities!

I hope you can find some time to add wind speed in Beaufort (windsnelheidBF) and visibility (zichtmeters). It will be highly appreciated! The wind speed in Beaufort you can set in "Settings", "Meters/Counters" For "visibility" there is an open issue: https://github.com/ffes/domoticz-buienradar ...

Uploading through the interface would be really helpful. But first the Python plugin API needs to get included in a stable release. And a repository would great as well. Although that would raise expectations of users. They would expect that plugin can be updated automatically. So a repository is ...

I get error "Error: Buienradar hardware (21) thread seems to have ended unexpectedly" in the log. I used the filter. Pfff, I have never seen that before. I don't think it is something I can do much about. A script should not be able to end a thread that way, I would think. Do you run the latest ...

What do you see in the log? Did you try to filter the devices based on the name you gave on the hardware page?

Is it hard or possible to get data from buienradar.be also? That seems not possible. I use http://xml.buienradar.nl to get the weather information. http://xml.buienradar.be doesn't work, so there is no data to use for me. Also notice that things they provide on http://www.buienradar.be ...

I just released a new version of my Buienradar plugin. This uses the new Settings dictionary that was added to the Python plugin in recent betas. So before you upgrade to this version of the Buienradar plugin be sure to have the latest beta of Domoticz. So for new users there is zero configuration ...

When "Add Settings collection #1289" pull request gets merged you will be able to Domoticz settings via a Setting dictionary from within a plugin. \o/ I see it is already merged!!! Looking forward to this very much. I don't have to ask the users for their location and retrieve it from the settings ...

And when it stops working, what is shown in the log? Do you see the plugin's log lines appear?

For me it runs stable as well. That said, I do update every couple of days to the latest beta to keep up with development. So my domoticz is restarted after that. Maybe that keeps it running, who knows. But if there is a stability issues, it is a problem with the domoticz python plugins in general ...

The git clone needs to be done in the your domoticz/plugins subdirectory. So before the git clone command type "cd domoticz/plugins"

@sander815

Yes, that was a bug in the plugin. Indeed updating to the latest version fixed the issue.
